Preliminary hearing set in Davis double-murder case

A preliminary hearing has been set for Daniel Marsh, the boy accused of horrifically murdering two elderly Davis residents in April.

Prosecutors say Marsh, 16, stabbed to death his onetime Davis neighbors Oliver "Chip" Northup, 87, and Claudia Maupin, 76, on April 13 in their Cowell Boulevard condominium. The bodies were discovered the next day amid a grisly crime scene. Marsh was 15 when the murders occurred.

Cabral said nearly all the reports generated by investigators in the case - 175 from the Davis Police Department alone - have been finalized. He said two more were on the way from the Department of Justice.
